Was able to enjoy the Peble Beach experience last week with my wife while visiting our daughter who lives in San Francisco. Carmel was nice (little chilly). Everyone asked where we got are tans from (Ohio).
Went to the Mecum and Bonhams auction to see a few Healeys go through the auction. Little dissappointed in the quality of the cars except for the occasional Kurt Tanner cars. Most of the rest were flawed in one way oy the other.
Bigggest interest for me, since I own one, was the 100 BN-1 Le mans car up for auction at Bonhams. A nice number #2 car with poor alighnment at the rocker /door/ rear fender interface. An obvious rocker replacement not done well, after market valve cover, but a nice car that if you saw it at a Healey event would not WOW you.
Went for over $92,000 including buyers premium. Yes, I was quite shocked.....Felt my car was better, yet I only have it insured for $55,000.
Called my insurance company to increase my value...
